About Payment

Gentle Dental aims to be as gentle on your wallet as our dentists are when providing treatment. Our professional staff will help you get the most from your dental insurance benefits and explain any deductibles and co-pays to you.

The Gentle Dental Smile Plan

The Gentle Dental Smile Plan is perfect if you don’t have dental insurance and offers significant savings. The plan has no waiting period, involves no paperwork, and covers all pre-existing conditions.

You can enroll as an individual, couple or family and receive significant discounts on preventative services including exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and x-rays, as well as a host of other dental services. All other services including specialty care such as extractions, root canals, and orthodontics are discounted 20% from our list prices.

The Smile Plan is effective immediately and there are no claim forms to fill out and no maximums. Seniors 62 and older receive additional discounts on enrollment fees and parents can keep children on their family plan until age 26.

Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for everyone to obtain quality dental care at an affordable price.

I only get my teeth cleaned twice a year, but they do a great job. They explain what they're going to do, what it entails, and listen to me if I tell them something is sensitive. Friendly and not at all scary. The perfect combination for a dental office.

Dr Jessica is very great with my son. However my experience has not been very good, they did a crown and it fell out, it is extremely sensitive and painful and they won't make time to replace for a few days. Very disappointed. *Edit- They did replace my crown and have had good experiences with my other crowns and fillings.
